    B-stock CDs are related to a first production batch that did not meet our required quality standards. We have been selecting the CD cases that seem to be in good condition, but here are some of the issues that can be expected from those CDs:

    - Slight scratches on the plastic case
    - Plastic case less sturdy than most jewel cases
    - Booklet slightly shorter than the case dimensions
    - Potential minor printing or color issues with the booklet or disc

    Please note that issues are exclusively visual and that the CDs are working just fine

Sunday Heat 05:43
Sheltered by the void Before chance, before fate, Before light and time became a cage Before the house we built burned down Before flesh, before matter and before shame Sinking in It feels so warm, so pure Cherish this space Build up the wall Absorb the grace before you Before God Before Science Before peace Before war Before life and before all we’re meant to be Before hate Before love Love The sun and the night watching over me, nurturing me The sun and the night watching over me, strengthening me Set me free Set me free

Satellites 11:40
All alone, stranded, I’m counting the years Waiting for my ignorance never to end At last the answers appeared in the sky In the form of benevolent satellites standing by Obsolete tranquility now soiled by whirring sounds The advent of independence Strings of theory giving motion to messengers from primal times Violating the sheltering clouds Cyclic nuptial swirl Fathers of your world Swaying, swaying (Born again, paving the way Born again, paving the way) Grab the strings, learn the steps We’ll lead the dance for you (Time is nothing as long as it’s not being witnessed passing by Cosmic laws bear their own conception of what justice is like Monumental spreaders propagating passion and emotions Downscaling entropy and chaos into our piteous lives) Nothing will ever be the same, we’re alone now, together My race, collective consciousness, but no friends, no God Silent guardians Loyal protectors Distant tyrants Absent oppressors Time is nothing as long as it’s not being witnessed passing by Cosmic laws bear their own conception of what justice is Monumental spreaders propagating passion and emotions Downscaling entropy and chaos into our piteous lives Clear the womb Surrender all that made you whole Silent guardians Loyal protectors Distant tyrants Absent oppressors Play, play with me, play with me, play with me Lay with me, lay with me, lay with me, lay with me Eternally Descending before our eyes Carriers of our demise Ancestral floating cathedrals As they fall, I shall rise

Spore 12:32
Your design was as sudden and pure as blooms of spring, unfaltering Though our ending is as certain as the fall of leaves I heard summers are getting longer I should have known these venetian sceneries would stay with me, never leave me But how in the world could I treasure this life sentence when death is but an open door I failed, I went astray I never meant to hurt you How could I fail to see the beauty in all you wanted us to be My selfish quest for security is leading me nowhere Salvaging my own integrity, my own impermanence To hell with chemistry, I’ll leave it all to chance Barring up sensitivity Putting up with the levity Can’t you hear the words I can never seem to speak out loud Gasoline slowly filling my lungs as I wave to the crowd I was everything, everything you had dreamed of everything that you needed I’ve abandoned you, abandoned what I had, abandoned what I was We’re smart enough to read between the lines And lost enough to believe what we find And why would we find our way When death is an open door ? As I get to realize We can achieve harmony, symbiosis Every breath you take is new ground to start all over again, the five of us Freight by the winds like spores stuck in a storm Only time will tell where we’re headed We may tremble on the way there but we’re carried by the same air So we will be together anywhere My selfish quest for security is coming to an end, I will transcend Salvaging our integrity, our future permanence, unbalanced To hell with chemistry, I’ll leave it all to chance I’ll see no casualty, from chaos I commence To hell with logic, to hell with empathy I’ll sit back and laugh Sit back and laugh Blossoming under sun and rain All the worry now seems vain Though I’ll always feel ashamed I’m just waiting for the end Let’s drink to the breaking of our dams Soon all of our threnodies will be drowned out by the sounds of the sea Soon venetian sceneries will be all that we see Soon all of our threnodies will be flushed out by the sea Blossoming under sun and rain All the worry now seems vain Though I’ll always feel ashamed I’m just waiting for the end I'll be guided by the shape of your dreams By the sound of your words, of your voice

Magnets 09:48
Ravage my innocence and make me pay Pay Scanning my every weakness, locking eyes with my future My path to be set in stone by forces beyond my control At last we are sailing over the seas of granite, ambassadors of tar Now take your leave, and let our lives unwind like clockwork Let my life unwind Open the gates Paint us all grey Open the gates Help us mutate Control is a souvenir Kindness : debris of the man I used to be Exposed for the world to see Packed up for you to keep Normalize, make the trouble your own Mesmerize, let them know how you’ve grown Patronize, let them sit by your throne Normalize, it is all flesh and bone Slaves, martyrs, preys, dying to fight for their right to be left alive Slaves, martyrs, failures, dying to fight for their innocence Magnets channeling my temper Magnets dancing and swirling without aim (Without aim) I’m half the man I could be Blame the virus inside of me Breaking my defences Altering my senses Fame will not be the remedy Blame the virus inside of me Blame the seed they planted in my rotting brain Open the gates Paint us all grey Open the gates Retaliate, asphyxiate, incinerate, eradicate Scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape Show us the way Paint us all grey, Grind Show me the way Grind all matter to dust

Fourteen years away, who am I to say Fourteen miles a day, crawling through the maze Basic intuition to suffer and make suffer Communication by means of cremation Time’s right for us to take our chances Vile hearts and soiled minds Once desperate to be seen Now running from the light And it’s finally time for me to take my chances Frail heart, noble mind I was once striving to be yours Now begging to be mine Past versions of myself staring me down Mocking me for the mess I have made, for the mess I’ve become Every word is armament Every gaze is violence Breathless ascension brought down by abstract laws Propelling me down, the ground won’t stop us Burn the bodies down, burn the bodies down Say his name and count to ten Burn the parish down, burn them all alive Wives and children, thieves and kings Rise, rise Put me to the test Stand upon my chest Rise, rise Bury the waste Bury the waste and wait Fourteen steps away, source of my dismay Fourteen times a day, keeping me at bay Basic intuition to suffer and make suffer Self-preservation by means of sedation There’s nothing to steal and there’s no-one to save, No mouth to feed and no hand to take Now there’s nothing to hear but chimes, there’s nobody near Blind there’s nothing to see you’re blind, there’s nothing to fear Distant tongues berating me in dialects I don’t understand How long has it been dark outside ? I thought it would be over within a year Bury the waste, bury the waste Frail heart and noble mind : The defects in my design Put me to the test, stand upon my chest Colors turn to numbers, my truth now concealed in the ground At last I get to take my chances and become one of them Shedding loneliness by remaining alone Spending my days burying the waste

Convection from your body to mine, this heat is matterless gold (matterless gold) Taking notes on what you’ve been constructing : your frail empire (your frail empire) Glassy eyes and half-open mouth, you’re just so endearing (if I could touch you I would) Looking back at all the mistakes you’ve made, with slight amusement (if I could smile I would)… So many, yet so fragile Wondering now, will you be enough ? Memories of former leaders fill my synthetic dreams Taking chances, rolling dice on the outcome we may meet (But we’ve never learned We will never learn) You’ll never learn Getting by with the living is a waste of time, it’s so mundane now Dancing ashes we vaporized are hiding the night, we might as well dig down now Unfold arousing layers Embracing the fever Sweet delusion Towards the core reach out your limbs A downward crusade, a vertical manœuvre to extinction Undermining what we know Automated migration spiralling down below Our failure will be a sight to behold Standing at the gates Of our promised realm (Dig down all the way down now Down in the ground, nowhere to be found Dig down all the way down now Down, down Dig down all the way down now Down in the ground, nowhere to be found Dig down all the way down now Down, down Dig down all the way down now Down in the ground, nowhere to be found Dig down all the way down now Down, down Dig down all the way down now Down in the ground, nowhere to be found Dig down all the way down now Breathing fire and life into the machine) Towards the core we gravitate blissfully Towards the core reach out your limbs, feel the heat New horizons rising before our stationary sun Vacant surface, the silence of space, sole remnants of this masquerade
7.
Hiding the smell of my own decay Flesh and bones are all I own Hugging my inner child until they choke Righting wrongs once and for all Drilling holes meticulously in the ship I’m sailing on Pulling the strings attached to my own body Limp and grotesque pantomime (Dance) My umbilical cord vanishes (Dance) The first of many burning bridges (Dance) Purpose subsides as I disengage (Dance) I am the womb now, I am the cage Come what may, I’ll be gone anyway But you’re here to stay, you’re set to make me pay (Set to make me pay) My umbilical cord vanishes (Pay) Replaced by cables and circuitry (Pay) Purpose subsides as I disengage (Pay) Licking the core of the Earth, the war I must wage As fate and intention grow intangible and abstract I’m looking for redemption at the bottom of my glass The ever-inviting screeches of mermaids drawing near The acrid taste of sultry lips now my deepest fear You are the night and the sun And after all life’s just begun But can’t you see there’s nothing more I could give I love you and I’ll always love you But your trust is held up by vague memories Look around, in the wake of a future you’re bound to refuse And stand your ground, for as long as mankind wins humans shall lose Listen now, find comfort in those simple words Carve them into your skin : « Nothing will ever matter Nothing fucking matters Nothing ever mattered »
